The start of the race saw pole man Riccardo lead away from fellow front row starter Vettel, followed by Hamilton, Raikkonen and Bottas. With passing close to impossible in Monaco Hamilton pitted first for the ultra soft tyres hoping for an undercut however as the other drivers also pitted the positions remained the same the only difference being Bottas stopping for the super soft tyres.

This seemed to be the right choice for Bottas as he looked to be much the quicker on the super soft tyres however again the problem for Bottas was in passing the car in front, Raikkonen. Meanwhile at the front Ricciardo's car lost power, a loss of electrical power which allowed Vettel to close right up but then again getting past was just too difficult.

Thus the positions at the front remained the same with Ricciardo winning from Vettel, with Hamilton third, the point of interest during the race was the progress of Verstappen who started in last place after crashing in FP3 which caused him to miss qualifying, he recovered to finish in 9th place.
